10/15/15Our family motto
doesn’t say, “It will all work out now.” It speaks of our hope in the
eternal outcome—not necessarily of present results. Scripture says,
“Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things
shall work together for your good.” This doesn’t mean all things are
good, but for the meek and faithful, things—both positive and
negative—work together for good, and the timing is the Lord’s. We wait
on Him, sometimes like Job in his suffering, knowing that God “maketh
sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.” A meek
heart accepts the trial and the waiting for that time of healing and
wholeness to come. - Neill F. Marriott, “Yielding
Our Hearts to God,” Ensign (CR) November 2015

We build the kingdom when we nurture others. However, the first child
of God we must build up in the restored gospel is ourselves. Emma
Smith said, “I desire the Spirit of God to know and understand myself,
that I might be able to overcome whatever of tradition or nature that
would not tend to my exaltation.” We must develop bedrock faith in the
Savior’s gospel and move forward, empowered by temple covenants,
toward exaltation. - Neill F. Marriott, “What
Shall We Do?” Ensign (CR) May 2016

3/22/17Do
you know how important you are? Every one of you—right now—is
valuable and essential in Heavenly Father’s plan of salvation. We
have a work to do. We know the truth of the restored gospel. Are we
ready to defend that truth? We need to live it; we need to share it.
We must stand firm in our faith and lift our voices to proclaim true
doctrine. – Neill
F. Marriott, “Sharing
Your Light,” Ensign (CR) November 2014
